When was the last time someone reached to the back of your shirt and checked your tag for the size? Its not really an frequent happening, right? So then why oh why is society so obsessed with what size they are? So many times I've been out shopping and I see people asking for sizes that they so clearly aren't. And it's sad. It's sad that people are in denial about their real size. Dress for yourself - not for other people. Don't be embarrassed to ask store associates for your real size - they're not judging you (although they might be if you're asking for something that's 2 sizes smaller).
Do you need to starve yourself to fit into those size 4 pants? NO. Most people can't actually tell the difference between sizes! It's all in your mind. Actually. Besides, squeezing into a size 4 and looking like a squished sausage is really not attractive - wouldn't you rather look sophisticated, polished and slimmer in a size 6? Just planting the seed...
So here's the thing. Wear whatever your little heart desires - but please for the love of mankind, make sure it's in your size! When clothes fit better, you look better, you portray a more confident image to the public, and ultimately, you feel better. So next time you're in the fitting room deciding between a blouse in a small or medium - take a step back. Is there unfriendly clinging happening with the small? Opt for the medium - it'll make you look smaller. Trust me. Dressing your size? It's a thing. And at the end of the day, size ain't nothing but a number. ^K
